When they ask me what greatness is I will mention your name .I will recite all your clan names .I will be griot to narrate all your wonderful and remarkable deeds .I will reiterate how you cut short your dreams so that you can wake up and go out there to make sure they materialise into reality .I will tell them that you barely lived .How you were always the sacrificial lamb on the alter.That you existed for many days but the days your truly lived cannot fill your curled palms .I will tell them the truth .I will canvass you in every wall in their minds .I will cuneiform you into the souls and tablets of their hearts .I will echoe your laughter through their misery to wax their sorrow with the palpitable magnetic force of your aura .I will tell them you were a mother in the manner of Theresa .A brother in the manner you best know how .A father in the manner of Bella 's father in the twilight .I will tell them you were a teacher in the manner of Gilbert Mabasa .I will tell them that greatness is who you are in the deepest core of your being .I will tell them you were here and you never . ©Sai Tree #greatness
